It’s one of the most recognisable sounds to kids (and parents) across the country but This Morning viewers have been left gobsmacked after the star behind Peppa Pig’s famous voice appeared on the sofa.

The cartoon character is only four years old yet she’s actually voiced by 15-year-old Harley Bird, a teenage actress who has been performing as Peppa for a whopping 10 years.

And despite the fact that she’s now much older than her alter ego, Harley stunned hosts Phillip Schofield and Sarah Greene on Tuesday’s show by effortlessly switching between her own voice and Peppa’s.

‘Hello, I’m Peppa Pig,’ Harley said in the cartoon pig’s voice before throwing one of her famous oinks in too. ‘George, if you jump in muddy puddles, you must wear your boots.’

George, in case you’re not up on your Peppa P, is the leading lady’s cheeky little brother and they both love to jump in muddy puddles.
